We cast a design view on the interactions that occur when humans face (interconnected) adaptive systems. As humans are also adaptive, the combined behavior of such systems and humans can exhibit various phenomena that are especially of concern to designers of adaptive systems dealing with the inherent complexity of systems, systems’ interfaces, interconnectivity, and other design factors. Based...

The impact of user interface quality has grown in software systems engineering, and will grow further with upcoming new paradigms such as Ambient Intelligence or Ubiquitous Computing, which confront the production industry with a huge diversity of new usage situations. In this paper, we will show the adaptation of a task-oriented useware modeling language, which is employed in the model-based u...

This study examines the evidence for the effectiveness of adaptive learning. It first analyses the different classifications of adaptive learning systems existing in the literature, to focus later on Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) and Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHS) describing some examples of both types of systems. Next, the Effect Size (ES) tool is adopted as a standard way to compare th...

In this study we have proposed an Intelligent Adaptive e-Learning Model that incorporates the ability to intelligently classify learners. There is a need for learning to continue, whether learners are onor off-line. This study emphasize on developing an agent-based personalized adaptive learning model. This model is deployed as a service using agent technology and not just as an application as ...

The impact of user interface quality has grown in software systems engineering, and will grow further with upcoming new paradigms such as Ambient Intelligence (AmI) or Ubiquitous Computing, which confront the production industry with a huge diversity of new usage situations. User in such situations cannot cope with the vast amount of information. Therefore, new models with respect to users’ nee...

In this paper, we describe an innovative project where Web technologies are exploited to develop an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) that uses a Learning Management System (LMS) as its learning interface. The resulting ITS has been instantiated into a specific system called STI-DICO which aims at helping future French primary school teachers to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to use th...

Scope Personalised Information Retrieval (PIR) has been gaining attention because it investigates intelligent ways for enhancing content delivery. Web users can have personalised services and more accurate information. Problem Several PIR systems have been proposed in the literature; however, they have not been properly tested or evaluated. Proposal – The authors propose a generally applicable ...
